Stanford Wins “Directors’ Cup” for Nation’s Top Athletic Program

PHOENIX, June 18. STANFORD University will win the 2002-03 Directors' Cup, presented to the nation's most successful collegiate athletic program. Stanford, of course, is also among the top academic institutions in the US.

The Directors' Cup, formerly the Sears Cup, measures a school's overall level of success based on the team performances of 20 selected NCAA sports (10 men's and 10 women's). Swimming is one of the 10 sports, although water polo is not.
